Dear parishioners of the Holy Ascension Church, as we approach the most Holiest days of our Christian faith – the Resurrection of Christ – we sincerely wish this time to be joyful for you and your families.
We are all aware of the impact Covid-19 has had on our lives the past year. Unless conditions worsen in NJ, the plan is to have Easter services, more or less ‘as usual’. Churches are currently limited to 50% occupancy, so when our pews fill to that capacity, the overflow will be directed to the Church Hall where there will be several screens to participate in the service. We are aware that some parishioners are still cautious of exposure and will choose not attend, so we believe the required spacing should suffice with the use of our hall.
April 29 Holy Thursday 6:30p Service of the Passion, reading of the 12 Gospels
April 30 Holy Friday 7:30p Vespers with Procession of the Holy Shroud
May 1 Holy Saturday 6:00p Blessing of the Easter Baskets
